7.7 Moving Ahead

In this chapter, we learned the following:

• How to handle unexpected situations by adding timeout, invalidation, and notification

• How to handle things when client connections die, using move and TupleSpaceProxy

• How to use the Ring name server

In the next chapter, you’ll find out about two additional features: rinda_eval and PTupleSpace. They are not included as part of the Ruby standard library, but they’re easy to install and will help you understand parallelism and persistency in Rinda.
